Craig Skelton said: "Why don't they put some sort of safety net or clear Perspex on the ceiling of each floor? If used, the Perspex could have hatches in it in case anyone tried it again. Plus, they could use other hatches for Christmas decorations at this time of year."

Karen Stambrovskis said: "It needs much higher barriers or strong netting across the void. It is horrible for everyone (including youngsters) to have to witness anything like this."

Craig Darby said: "I feel sorry for the people who witnessed this. Also they could've injured someone below."

Laura Louise Evans said: "Those barriers come up to my shoulders near enough, you can't stop people from killing themselves."

Deano Richard Gleiwitz said: "Hire more security staff and have them located in different areas of the Bullring."

Sam Gardner said: "I think the barriers are high enough and to put netting or plastic on each landing would be a shame and ruin the look of a fab shopping centre."

Leela Ali: "Instead of barriers they should put glass up because then at least people can still look down."

Bruce-Pierre Thomson said: "Put in safety nets like in prison??"

Vicky Tranter said: "The barriers are too low and definitely need to be higher, glass ones so people can still see through them. I'm surprised it hasn't happened more often, I've never thought the designs of these new shopping malls are safe enough. Safety nets are a terrible idea."
